Walking In Memphis

In the style of

Marc Cohn

Lyrics

put on my
blue suede shoes
and i
boarded the plane

touched down
in the land
of the
delta blues
in the middle
of the
pourin' rain

w.c. handy
won't you
look down over me
yeah i've got
a first-class ticket
but i'm as blue
as a boy can be

then i'm
walkin' in memphis
just walkin'
with my feet
ten feet offa beale

walkin' in memphis
but do i
really feel
the way i feel

saw the ghost
of elvis
on union avenue
followed him up
to the gates
of graceland
then i watched him
walk right through

now security
they did not
see him
they just
hovered 'round
his tomb

but there's a
pretty little thing
waitin' for the king
down in
the jungle room

when i was
walkin' in memphis
i was walkin'
with my feet
ten feet offa beale

walkin' in memphis
but do i
really feel
the way i feel

they've got
catfish on the table
they've got gospel
in the air

and reverend green
be glad to see you
when you
haven't got a prayer
but boy
you got a prayer
in memphis

now muriel
plays piano
every friday
at the hollywood

and they
brought me down
to see her
and they asked me
if i would

a-do a little number
and i sang
with all my might
she said
tell me are you
a christian child
and i said
ma'am i am tonight

walkin' in memphis
i was walkin'
with my feet
ten feet offa beale
walkin' in memphis
but do i
really feel
the way i feel

walkin' in memphis
i was walkin'
with my feet
ten feet offa beale
walkin' in memphis
but do i
really feel
the way i feel

put on my
blue suede shoes
and i
boarded the plane

touched down
in the land
of the
delta blues
in the middle
of the
pourin' rain

touched down
in the land
of the
delta blues
in the middle
of the pouring
rain
